between 1882 and is leave Mr.. Cleve-
lands former meager p uraity?
Indiana in 1889 gavs Democratic plu-
rality OF 1924; It gave Cleveland G,5l9.
In 1886 the last general election, 1t gave
a Republican plurality OF 2 0g3. 1t will be
interesting to know how Cleveland's Jug
glers can apply that steady reduction to his
advantage next year.
New Jersey in 1888 gave a Democratic
plurality OF G,s09; It gave Cleveland 4,4l2.
In 1856, through local differences in the
Republican party, it gave the Democratic
candidate for governor an increased major
fly; but at the same time the vote for mem
bers of Congress, which was influenced by
national issues directly, shows the hand
some Republican majority OF 6,9O7; and It
should be added that the Republicans car.
rled the state handsomely this year at the
legislative election. How will the Cleve
land boomers solve New JERSEYS problem
New York in 1889 gave the Democrats
1872, ,s54; In 1888 there was a mixed result,
the Republicans electing one state officer
through personal favoritism, but the aver
age Democratic majority being about $1,000;
the state gave Cleveland in 1884 the meager
plurality of LOAF. This year the average
Democratic plurality will turn out to be
much less even than that which Immediately
preceded the last presidential year, to say
nothing OF the tremendous Democratic ma
jority In 1889. 1t is doubtful II II equals the
1000 Of Gov. Hill in 1885, and II is notable
that wherever the issue was anything like
national the Republicans gained hand
somely, the Democrats holding up their
columns in the brewery quarters Even IA
New York have Cleveland and his assessed
ofllceholders great deal to show for their
money
Now, In order to be re elected Mr. Cleve-.
land must have, in addition to the"claime1'
1853 votes Of the solid south, enough from
the above four states, with steadily increas.
ing Republican tendencies, to make 20l,
which will require As. New York 80 aui
Connecticut 6 would not be enough II the
prospect were bright after eliminating tho
Mugwumps aud Burchard, for the Republi-
cans have much less of year adversely thar
usual to overcome. He must have in al.
dition either Indiana or New Jersey, which
are anchored in Republican waters-auJ
Republican presidential figures never 60
backward.
With no desire to create unrest 10 the
mind of an administration already re-
elected, still, as a matter Of friendly eau.
tlon, the REPUBLICAN advises the Cleveland
boomer to keep at least one eye on the
northern doubtful" states and the other
on one or two perforations in the solid
south. They may at least entertain him.

Problems for the Cleveland Boone

Problems for the Cleveland Boomer.
The Cleveland claquers have laughed
ard grown fat with so little provoca'ion
over the late election returns that the Re-
PUBLICAN is disposed TO continue feeding
them with the same diet. If they can be
entertained by counting in Mr.. Cleveland
for a second term this year, perhaps the
honest majority OF electors may have
chance at the regular election next year.
The Clevelandites profess TO see success
in 1888 written on the returns OF 1887. II
their theory be correct of course 1t stands
upon the usual relation of the vote OF of
years with that of presidential contests.
And In this light 1t is pleasure to give
them some very solid figures to digest.
The re- electors claim the solid south to be-
gin with; the claim is invalid, but for the
sake Of avoiding controversy we can af-
ford to pass that by. Cleveland carried
four northern states in 1884, and "claims"
them for next year. Here is where late
election figures will prove instructive, II
not interesting to him. These states were
Connecticut, Indiana, New Jersey, and
New York. In addition to every vote In
lne bOutn, MI. IleVelahu must nave Dlg
proportion Of the electoral votes of these
states to re-elect him.
At the outset bear in mind that ever
since the Republican party existed the
almost invarlable rule has given 1t In the
northern states an advantage OF about ten
per centum in the increased vote OF presI-
dental, as compared with other elections,
That is, where the Issues are national the
vote is usually larger, the proportion of In
crease is to that extent greater on the Re-
publican side. Now, apply this rule, or
any reasonable rule the Democratic mathe-
maticians may invent, to the four states
named, do little honest cipherlng, and set
the answers where he who runs may read.
Connecticut, at the last general election
previous to 1854 gave a Democratic plu-
rality Of 4,lGl; following the rule above
stated, 1t gave Cleveland only l,G4s. In
1856, which was the last general election
previous to the next presidential election,
it's Democratic plurality was but l,Sos

Sisters Love brothers Better Than
Brothers Love Sisters.


A girl is generally very unsellsh to her
brother, You don't often hear of young
fellow giving up his pocket money to his
sister; he usually growls II she wants him
to take her to the theater. But II boys
in a little trouble his sister will stand
by him like brick. She'll
not only give up her pocket
money, but she'll go and wheedle some
more out Of her father to give 1t to him.
She'll fb, she'll preyaricate, she'll beg.
He'll hang about outside until she gets It
and comes and gives 1t to him. Then he
will grab his hat and bolt out of the house.
And she does not mind II he does
not thank her particularly. He's her
brother, and-well-a woman always
looks at kindness done to a man as
its own reward. A boy can generally whee-
die money out OF his mother. But II she

A CRISIS has arrived in the affairs OF
France. Clemenceau, the radical leader,
when called into conference with President
Grevy, declined to accept office, and said
the crisis was presidential, not ministerial.
Other leading Frenchmen, including Jules
Ferry, colncided with Clemenceau, and ad-
vlsed the resignation OF President Grevy.
The result is that during the next few days
the president will resign. The national as
sembly-that is, the senate and delegates
combined-will meet and elect successor.
The assembly contains about 900 members,
of whom about 275 are radical republicans,
about $50 monarchists Of various stripes,
and the remainder are moderate republi
cans, divided into two wings. Thus 1t
will be seen that neither of the par
ties can by itself elect President.
As consequence there will have to be a
combination between some Of the opposing
factions, which will probably result In a
plebIscite, or vote Of the people, and posi-
bly, rev yolution, precipitated either by the
radicals or the monarchists. 1t is to be
hoped, however, that the moderate repub-
licaDs can unite and draw enough patriotic
Frencbmen from the other parties to select
some prudent man-Freyclnet, Jules Ferry,
or Jules Simon-and elect him president.
1t is possible that the Chauvanists
will succeed In electing Boulanger, the
military idol, and in that event the peace
Of Europe would be endangered.

ANY one at all familiar with Virginia
newspapers knows that 1t has been the GUS
tom for years past, with some Of the Rich
mond papers, directly after each election
to make table OF the counties and print
the votes Of each OF the one hundred couu-
ties and thirteen cities, showing the poll in
each. This year the reports for the three
first days after the election were given in
both the Dispatch and Wing, then all fur
ther publication ceased. No more returns
pcre giren out from tic office Of the Secretary
Of State. The facts were the returns did
not suit. The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN d.
rected its correspondent to secure copies Of
the returns, but he failed In the effort. No
thing was given out until the Democratic
state election board met on last Monday
and figured out Democratic majority.
The Virginia Democrats must think that
the people Of the country are wonderfully
trustful, II they expect their work to be ac-
cepted on faith.
